What's on your menu today (Photo Friday) RNYers?

Sorry to hear about Eliot, I can relate. I have never blubbered harder than when we had to lay our Abby to rest.

Thanks. Never expected grief so strong. But pets never waver in their love and affection. Unlike, ya know...humans.

So sorry for your loss. When one of our seniors passed, our vet did a house call and it meant the world.

Thanks. I'm so glad I did it that way. It's really a great service.

So sorry about Elliot. I can definitely relate to that situation. Our baby Skye ended up with kidney issues several years ago and we (and our vet) thought it would be manageable with at home fluids etc so we had a whole set up with our vet and everything. I babied her like crazy and it just wasn't enough. Hardest decision I've ever made and I totally cried like a baby. I still get tears when I think about her. It's never easy but at least we can take comfort in knowing that we didn't let them suffer.

It's such a hard decision. I still second guess myself. My wife is away and I considered drastic measures to keep him going so she could say goodbye but that would have been more for us, not for him.

It is a terrible choice. I too have been there, more than once, and a more forlorn place, emotionally, is hard to find. I'm sorry for your loss.

Thanks. The realization that his time had come was the hardest part. I appreciate everybody's well wishes. I know there's a lot of loving pet owners in here.

It really is a tough call. I had a very hard time with second guessing too, I totally get it. You did the right thing. He is not suffering and you loved him as much as you could while he was here in the physical form. It sounds like he was one lucky kitty to have you and your wife (and the other kitties) as his family

So sorry for your loss! (Love the name Elliot, though--after your grieving process, might there be an Elliot II?)
